Snow in March

This morning we woke up to find snow dusted on our lawns.  Our schools were not closed, but some schools in northern Georgia were closed.  This picture is from a friend who took it earlier this winter in Fannin County.  How much snow do you have today ?

Egg Shells ? !

A few weeks ago, a customer called us out to fix a drain problem.  Her kitchen sink kept backing up and causing problems. 

By the end of this service call, our plumbing technician had replaced a section of pipe that was filled with EGG SHELLS !   Our customer had been using her garbage disposal to get rid of egg shells for years, never dreaming that they were collecting in her pipes almost cementing them solid and unable to drain. 

Like many people, she assumed her garbage disposal could handle egg shells as well as many other food products.

Let this be a warning to you, be careful what you put in your garbage disposal.

HIGH water bill $$$$

   $  ###.## water bill   !  !

We were contacted by a customer recently who had an extremely high water bill.  They were concerned that there was a leak in the pipes leading to their home.    After turning off the water supply to the home, our plumber saw that the meter was not continuing to spin.  This indicated that the leak was somewhere inside the home instead.

Upon stepping inside the home, our plumber could hear water flowing.  The customer’s downstairs bathroom toilet was continuously running.  The Belco Plumbing Service plumbing technician repaired the toilet in no time flat.  But the sound of water flowing was still heard.  Our plumber followed the sound to the upstairs bathroom toilet, which was also continuously running.  After making the repairs to this toilet, all water flowing sounds were silent.

Whew ! ! ! 

You can just imagine the relief our customer felt when they were told the problems had been solved without having to dig up their yard !   Even better when they realized the repair bill was affordable and the knowledge that their upcoming water bill would be MUCH cheaper.

This customer was SO thankful they had called Belco Plumbing Services to handle their problem.
